Theretra lycetus, the white-edged hunter hawkmoth, is a moth of the family Sphingidae.

Is known from south-east Asia, including Malaysia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia.

The forewing upperside is similar to Theretra japonica, but the contrast between the darker postmedian lines and intervening pale bands is stronger.

Differs from theylia in being brownish in color, with but a slight pink tinge; sides of abdomen golden yellow; the two dorsal lines paler.

The form lycetus = rosina from Mussooree and Sikhim is pinker in tone and has more flesh-color on the hind wing than drancus - prunosa from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).
